Capital city of Lebanon and the most diverse city in the Middle East. During the Cedar Revolution, cynics noted the presence of Arab women in revealing outfits.
Beirut is mostly known because of the civil war, covered in Spy Game. Suicide bombing as a military tactic started here, the most notable case being the attack on US and French Marines in 1983 (Mac Taylor in CSI: New York was injured here, then proceeded to get widowed in 9/11).
On a lighter note, do not attempt to drive in Beirut unless you are absolutely certain you know what you're doing.
